I have no real plans of this. I think my last comments on the topic  
was something like this not being very useful because of how it would  
not be easy accessible via keyboard only and it would introduce *a  
lot* of complexity in basically every single thing that potentially  
works with the selection, in many cases having to define how a  
transformation should work in the case of discontinuous selections  
(which isn’t always intuitive) -- so hardly worth it.

As I believe was already said in this thread, just copy away and  
paste with shift down to go back through the history. That gives you  
the same functionality, but as the OP requested.
